In this exclusive sneak peek at a new Nowness video, the Michelin-starred chef preps his new restaurant--and wrangles one huge black truffle

For a while now, NOWNESS has been making some of our favorite food videos on the web. Each one of them, whether it's about the staff meals at Noma or the famous Harry's Bar in Venice, is beautifully shot, insightful, and (this being 2013) not too long--what more could we ask for?

This Friday, the site is debuting a new video about Yannick Alleno, the three-Michelin-starred head chef at Paris's Le Meurice hotel who also happens to love New York City hot dogs. Alleno's newest project has been redesigning the 1947 restaurant at the Cheval Blanc hotel in Courchevel, one of the French Alps' poshest resorts, and NOWNESS caught him in the days before 1947's reopening in early December. Check out the teaser video up top, and head to NOWNESS on Friday to see the full thing.
